Overview

• Mathew Barzal scored the game-winning goal with 1:25 left in regulation, sealing a 2-1 victory over Utah Hockey Club and completing a three-game road sweep for the Islanders.
• Brock Nelson also scored for New York, while Marcus Hogberg made 21 saves in his second start of the season, stepping in for the ailing Ilya Sorokin.
• Utah's Nick Schmaltz opened the scoring early in the second period, but the Islanders equalized in the third with Nelson's goal before Barzal's late heroics.
• Connor Ingram, playing his first game since November following a personal leave, recorded 30 saves for Utah but couldn't secure the win.
• The Islanders, now five points out of a wild-card playoff spot, head into a seven-game homestand with renewed confidence after their first three-game winning streak of the season.
